Created attachment 438295 [details] multipath -v3 +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #567760 +++ I was able to reproduce the issue on RHEL4 U8. [root@linux ~]# cat /etc/*release Red Hat Enterprise Linux ES release 4 (Nahant Update 8) [root@linux ~]# uname -a Linux linux.local 2.6.9-89.0.28.ELsmp #1 SMP Thu Jul 22 18:14:41 EDT 2010 x86_64 x86_64 x86_64 GNU/Linux I've attached the multipath.conf and the multipath -v3 output for your reference. With my modifications to multipath.conf the LUN failover is working fine. I'm just curious about the "faulty" status of the passive paths.

The SVSP release used is 3.02 which is still active/passive.
The config that seems to work best is device { vendor "HP" product "HSVX700" path_grouping_policy group_by_prio prio_callout "/sbin/mpath_prio_hp_sw /dev/%n" hardware_handler "0" path_checker hp_sw failback immediate no_path_retry 12 rr_min_io 100 }
autoconfiguration added.
Ben, /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5/multipath.conf.defaults is not updated. multipathd -k'show config' cannot work in RHEL4, is there any way for me to check the autoconfiguration? Thank you.
Ben, In device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-41.el4: /usr/share/doc/device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5/multipath.conf.defaults is not updated. multipathd -k'show config' cannot work in RHEL4, is there any way for me to check the autoconfiguration? Thank you.
The old config has been removed, and the documentation has been updated.
Both multipath.conf.defaults and libmultipath/hwtable.c have been updated in device-mapper-multipath-0.4.5-42.el4 Code reviewed. Sanity Only.
